In reply to the discussion: I hope that Bernie is capable of being shallow. [View all]True Blue Door
(2,969 posts)23. Let me reiterate: An apology is required.
Both of your above comments totally ignore the substance of what I say, and when confronted by the difference between your reaction and that substance, you attacked my integrity instead of simply getting back to the issue at hand.
An apology is required, in a timely manner.
If none is forthcoming, I will assume you intend to continue behaving like that, and I have no interest in submitting to that abuse or participating in meaningless diversions from the issues. You'll be on Total Ignore, so I won't be bothered again by your comments.
Failure to respond in a timely manner will be interpreted as the latter.
Have a nice day.

Nader lost because he was a third party candidate, not because he wasn't as phony as a dlcer. n/t

How is his authenticity different from the authenticity of every other candidate

Fortunately Bernie IS Bernie, so I have no reason to worry he will follow your advice

LOL! "Critical thinking" says Bermie should run as a shallow person instead of as himself?

Substance leveraged into image is stronger than purely fabricated image.

Bernie is not going to hold his finger up to follow the DC bubble political wind.

Not yet, but eventually he'll have to deal with people who love either or both.
